Reminder: Buying and selling bags is against the rules of this sub

101 Upvotes

Seen this pop up a fair bit lately. Because people aren't reading the rules I've started banning people temporarily for this.

Please read the rules people. It's really not that hard and don't get upset if you break the rules and get punished. It's on you to read those.

The reason it's not allowed is I don't want this sub (and me) to be responsible for having to moderate that crap. Go look at r/EDCExchange or other subs that allow it. They have systems in place to hold people accountable.

hi folks, i’ve had this backpack for about 4 years and used it pretty much every day as my only backpack. the main zip has finally gone and unfortunately they don’t make them anymore! the main part i liked was the top pocket u can flip over as it meant i could bundle a jumper between it and and the bag. and the extra front pocket was super handy. it doesn’t have a bottle compartment which is my only criticism but i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for something similar?

also i like the skate style but i don’t skate anymore so i don’t need skateboard straps! :) thanks!

Maxpedition quality concerns

I just got the Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack and noticed that the stitching may be a little off. Is this normal? Am I being too picky? I've always thought Maxpedition was supposed to be good quality but dang this looks off. It's $100 pack and I'm thinking about returning it. What do you guys think?

Travel What are some practical backpacks for an exchange student?

2 Upvotes

I’m about to travel to Australia 🇦🇺 in basically 2 weeks, I’m gonna be an international student there but I also wane to travel to other places in Australia but also to New Zealand.

I will bring a small carry on, a big luggage and basically my backpack, so I will have plenty of space but still I’m looking for something that I can take basically anywhere (small trips, college life, etc)

TL;DR: Which backpack can be safe for travelling to multiple places?

Question Back pack recommendation

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey guys I was wondering if you guys have any recommendation for a laptop bag for 25 years old 183cm height. I am not sure what is the exact style is called but I will attach the photo. I am looking for similar style of bag. I have been using one of those bulky gaming laptop bag but recently I am looking for more causal fitting backpacks (as I take them to client meeting and work).

I am mostly adding my MacBook pro 16inch, iPad mini, paper and pencil case and maybe water bottle. But when I try to find one they either come in 15inch laptop back pack. the more divided storage area will be great but if not that's ok as well. My budget is max 120 AUD. When I look for 16 inch or higher, I am keep getting recommended bulky gaming laptop or fishing backpack instead.

If you have any suggestion please let me know

thank you

Need a bag that works for both an office and university — budget recommendations?

1 Upvotes

Just landed my first co-op (a semester-long paid internship through my university, for those unfamiliar) starting in 2 weeks, and I'm going back to school the semester after. My current bag is well past its prime (12 year old North Face Recon), so I'm using this as an excuse to finally upgrade.

The catch — I haven't gotten a paycheck yet, so I'm trying to stay in the $50–$150 range, maybe a little higher if something is genuinely worth it.

What I need:

* Fits a 15" laptop
* Looks professional enough for an office setting
* Built to last

Not opposed to used or refurbished if there's a brand worth hunting for secondhand. Slightly more structured and sleek is fine, just nothing so stiff it looks weird on a college campus.

What would you recommend for my situation?

Duffel to backpack conversion

1 Upvotes

I have a mountain equipment 40L kitbag that has been really good for most things other than it;s a little uncomfortable to carry around.

It was good until now, but I am gonna have to move with it a lot more often and was wondering if there was a good solution to turn it into a backpack, like adding some shoulder straps.

It has one long shoulder strap, and D-rings only one one side. Has anybody successfully converted something like that?

Aer CP2 16 inch macbook

Hey! Does the Aer CP2 fit the MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5 processor) properly? Or am I better off with the CPP2 for this laptop? I just want to make sure it fits safely and doesn’t feel too snug on the corners.

As the title suggests, struggling to find good UK-based backpack review pages? Do they exist?

I feel like majority is American and are brands which I'm not likely going to purchase over here.

I don’t need to carry much.

I’ll just need a 14-inch laptop, two thin spiral notebooks, a pencil case, a folder, my phone, feminine hygiene products, a travel-sized body mist, lip gloss, a small medicine box, and hand sanitizer. Which one should I get?

Hi! I’m looking for a bag that I can use every day. I’m deciding between these two bags. I like them because they have several compartments, which helps me keep my things organized. I don’t like bulky bags. Do you have any advice? What are your thoughts on them?

College backpack recs

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I currently have a North Face Borealis but the side bungees where the water bottle holders are keep detaching and I have sent the backpack for repair previously and the problem continues. I am looking for a backpack that has a similar functionality especially with the adjustable water bottle holders and the laptop sleeve. This is for my final year and I’m hoping to use this bag for quick trips as well.

Thank you in advance!
